I have a question about planning permission and rendering a house.
I live in a chalet bungalow in a close of around 10 houses, all similar, but not identical in design and appearance - brick (different houses have different coloured brick), many with clay tiles in the gable area. One other house has weatherboarding and some render at the front of the house. I wanted to render and paint my whole house as I thought it was ugly and I wanted a more modern look. I looked online and saw that planning permission was not required to render, as long as its not in a conservation area, which it is not.
So I had the house rendered, with cement/sand and painted off white.
Now I am planning on an extension at the back of the house and researching once again about planning permission. I notice now that there are points about rendering a house is OK without planning, as long as similar materials are used as main house build.
So this has me a little concerned, was I OK to go ahead and render without planning permission? Do I in fact need planning for this? would I need to get retrospective planning, could they refuse, in which case would I need to remove render which would be a very costly nightmare!
Any advice here would be greatly appreciated.
